Some travelers recommend booking well in advance, while others swear by last-minute deals. Additionally, opinions differ on which day of the week is best for booking flights and which days are cheapest to travel. Fortunately, Expedia’s 2025 Air Hacks Report provides clear answers to these questions. ●What is the cheapest day to book airline tickets? When you’re ready to purchase airfare for your next trip, set aside time on a Sunday to book. According to Expedia’s 2025 Air Hacks Report, booking on Sundays can save you up to 6% on domestic flights and up to 17% on international flights compared to bookings made on a Monday or Friday. This trend has held true for three years in a row. ●What are the cheapest days to fly? The day your flight departs is another important factor in determining the cost of your airfare. For the cheapest flights, aim to fly on a Thursday or Saturday. If you’re flying domestically, departing on a Saturday instead of a Sunday can save you up to 17%. For international travel, leaving on a Thursday rather than a Sunday can result in savings of up to 15%. ●How far in advance should you book airline tickets to save money? Many people assume that the earlier you book your flight, the cheaper your ticket will be. But that’s not the case. In fact, booking an international flight just 18 to 29 days before departure will save you up to 17% compared to booking three months in advance. The sweet spot for domestic flights is one to three months before your trip. Booking then can save you 25% compared with tickets booked at the last minute. 11. How can you save money concerning domestic flights? A. Purchasing tickets on Mondays or Fridays. B. Choosing flights leaving on Sundays. C. Flying on Saturdays instead of Sundays. D. Booking 18 to 29 days in advance. 12. What is a common misconception about booking flights? A. Last-minute deals are best choices. B. Booking early guarantees low prices. C. Weekends are always more expensive. D. Airfare varies greatly from year to year. 13. What’s the text? A. A social media post. B. A travel journal. C. A customer review. D. A market research report. 【答案】11. C 12. B 13. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了机票预订的最佳日期、出发日及提前预订时间。 11题详解】 细节理解题。根据●What are the cheapest days to fly?部分中“For the cheapest flights, aim to fly on a Thursday or Saturday. If you’re flying domestically, departing on a Saturday instead of a Sunday can save you up to 17%.(对于最便宜的航班，尽量在周四或周六飞行。如果你乘坐国内航班，周六出发而不是周日出发可以节省高达17%的费用。)”可知，乘坐国内航班，周六出发而不是周日出发能省钱。故选C。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Many people assume that the earlier you book your flight, the cheaper your ticket will be. But that’s not the case.(很多人认为你越早预订航班，机票就越便宜。但事实并非如此。)”可知，人们普遍存在的一个误解是提前预订机票能保证价格低。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“Fortunately, Expedia’s 2025 Air Hacks Report provides clear answers to these questions.(幸运的是，Expedia的2025年航空攻略报告为这些问题提供了明确的答案。)”以及后文围绕预订机票省钱展开的具体介绍可知，本文是一篇市场调研报告。故选D。 B To Karanth, everyone in every part of the world is born with a fundamental connection to nature. Growing up in Karnataka, she began accompanying her father into the wild at just two years old. But in her hometown, kids grew up with a negative perspective (看法) on wildlife. Elephants destroyed crops and sometimes people were badly injured or killed. Karanth discovered kids wouldn’t appreciate the fact that it’s the best place to witness extraordinary animals. In 2017, a conversation with her friend Gabby shifted her mindset towards education. Within half a year, Karanth and Gabby had the first version of “Wild Shaale” on their hands. A program designed for students who come into frequent contact with wildlife, Wild Shaale aims to develop a genuine understanding of wildlife and wild spaces and move beyond wildlife tolerance to concepts of conservation (保护) and environmental issues. The conservation education program fills a gap in environmental learning. While it is fortunate that a basic environmental education is supported by local government, Karanth believes the challenge lies in the quality of the curriculum and whether it’s delivered effectively and consistently. “You have to visualize (想象) what these schools look like. They may not have electricity—forget having computers, internet, iPads, or anything. ” Encouraging the students to find commonalities between themselves and the animals is the first step to changing perceptions (看法) and hopefully, behaviors. “It comes down to the same things: we need food; we need water; we need space. Then they start to understand why situations of conflict arise,” Karanth says. “But then how do you convince them not to get angry, not to act in a way that leads to harm? That’s something we’re trying to work on. It’s not easy.” 14. What problem might Karanth’s hometown have faced? A. Human-wildlife conflict. B. Loss of wildlife habitats. C. Overpopulation of elephants. D. Disregard for wildlife balance. 15. Why did Karanth launch the program Wild Shaale? A. To help students identify animals. B. To fill a gap in local education. C. To change how students perceive wildlife. D. To publicize wildlife diversity. 16. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The support for the plan. B. The barrier to the program. C. The curriculum arrangement. D. The schools’ conditions. 17. What is Karanth trying to achieve in the program? A. A change in humans’ attitudes and behavior. B. A breakthrough in environmental studies. C. Appropriate ways to end local conflicts. D. Approaches to changing animals’ behavior. 【答案】14. A 15. C 16. B 17. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了卡兰斯通过建立Wild Shaale项目来改变学生对野生动物的看法。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But in her hometown, kids grew up with a negative perspective on wildlife. Elephants destroyed crops and sometimes people were badly injured or killed. Karanth discovered kids wouldn’t appreciate the fact that it’s the best place to witness extraordinary animals. (但在她的家乡，孩子们从小就对野生动物持消极态度。大象毁坏了庄稼，有时人们严重受伤或死亡。卡兰斯发现，孩子们不会欣赏这样一个事实：这里是观看非凡动物的最佳地点) ”可知，卡兰斯的家乡面临的问题是人类与野生动物的冲突。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“A program designed for students who come into frequent contact with wildlife, Wild Shaale aims to develop a genuine understanding of wildlife and wild spaces and move beyond wildlife tolerance to concepts of conservation and environmental issues. The conservation education program fills a gap in environmental learning. (该项目专为经常接触野生动物的学生设计，旨在培养对野生动物和野生空间的真正理解，并超越野生动物的耐受性，了解保护和环境问题的概念。保育教育计划填补了环境学习的空白)”可知，Karanth启动Wild Shaale项目是为了改变学生对野生动物的看法。故选C。 【16题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“While it is fortunate that a basic environmental education is supported by local government, Karanth believes the challenge lies in the quality of the curriculum and whether it’s delivered effectively and consistently. “You have to visualize what these schools look like. They may not have electricity—forget having computers, internet, iPads, or anything.” (虽然幸运的是，基础环境教育得到了当地政府的支持，但Karanth认为，挑战在于课程的质量，以及课程是否有效和持续。“你必须想象这些学校是什么样子。他们可能没有电—更别提有电脑、互联网、ipad或任何东西了。”)”可知，第三段主要讲了项目开展所面临的挑战如课程质量，课程的效果以及持续性的障碍等。故选B。 【17题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Encouraging the students to find commonalities between themselves and the animals is the first step to changing perceptions and hopefully, behaviors. (鼓励学生发现自己和动物之间的共同点是改变观念和行为的第一步)”可知，卡兰斯想在这个项目中实现人类态度和行为的转变。故选A。 C It was my first trip to Paris, a city I’d dreamed of visiting since childhood. I wandered along the Seine River, snapped photos of the Eiffel Tower, and soaked in the charming atmosphere. However, disaster struck on the third day: when I reached for my bag at a crowded metro station, I found it empty — my phone, wallet, and passport were all gone. Panic surged through me as I realized I had no way to contact anyone or pay for food and accommodation. Desperate and lost, I wandered aimlessly down a quiet street, trying to hold back tears. A kind-looking elderly man noticed my distress (困境) and approached me. “Are you in trouble, young lady?” he asked in broken English. I explained my situation, and his eyes filled with sympathy. Without hesitation, he offered to take me to the local police station to report the theft. On the way, he bought me a cup of hot coffee and reassured me, “Everything will be okay. Parisians are not as cold as people say.” At the police station, the officer was patient and helpful, taking down my details and promising to contact me if there was any news. As I left, feeling still anxious, the elderly man insisted on driving me to a nearby youth hostel where he helped me negotiate a discounted rate. He even pressed some euros into my hand, saying, “Buy yourself a proper meal.” I tried to refuse, but he smiled and said, “Pass the kindness on someday.” A week later, I received a call from the police, my wallet and passport had been found by a tourist who handed them in. Though my phone was never recovered, I had already experienced something far more valuable. That trip taught me that kindness is universal, and even in the darkest moments, strangers can bring light. I left Paris not just with memories of beautiful landmarks, but with a warm heart full of gratitude. 18. What was stolen from the author at the metro station? A. Her flight ticket and credit cards. B. Her phone, wallet and passport. C. Her camera and travel guide. D. Her cash and hotel reservation. 19. What does the underlined word “reassured” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Comforted B. Warned C. Criticized D. Challenged 20. We can infer from the passage that the elderly man ________. A. was a staff member of the youth hostel B could speak fluent English with the author C. cared about the author’s basic needs. D. had known the author before the trip 21. What is the best title for the passage? A. A Terrible Theft in Paris B. The Beautiful Landmarks of Paris C. A Trip Full of Surprises and Regrets D. Kindness from a stranger in Paris 【答案】18. B 19. A 20. C 21. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者在巴黎旅行时丢失手机、钱包和护照的遭遇。一位善良的老人提供了帮助，带她去警察局、买咖啡、联系旅社并给予食物。最终钱包和护照被找回，作者深刻体会到陌生人的善意，并对此充满感激。这次经历让她明白，即使在困境中，人性中的善良也是普遍存在的。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“However, disaster struck on the third day: when I reached for my bag at a crowded metro station, I found it empty—my phone, wallet, and passport were all gone.(然而，灾难在第三天降临了：当我在一个拥挤的地铁站伸手去拿我的包时，却发现包空了——我的手机、钱包和护照都不见了。)”可知，作者在地铁站伸手拿包时，发现包是空的，手机、钱包和护照都不见了。所以被偷的是作者的手机、钱包和护照。故选B。 【19题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“On the way, he bought me a cup of hot coffee and reassured me, ‘Everything will be okay. Parisians are not as cold as people say.’(在路上，他给我买了一杯热咖啡，并……我说：“一切都会好起来的。巴黎人可不像人们说的那么冷漠。”)”可知，在去警察局的路上，老人说了一些话目的是来安慰作者，让作者放心。因此划线词意为“安慰”，选项A“Comforted(安慰)”与划线词意思相近。故选A。 【20题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“As I left, feeling still anxious, the elderly man insisted on driving me to a nearby youth hostel where he helped me negotiate a discounted rate. He even pressed some euros into my hand, saying, ‘Buy yourself a proper meal.’(当我离开时，心里仍感到有些不安。那位老人坚持开车送我到附近的一家青年旅社，并帮我谈妥了优惠价格。他还特意把一些欧元塞到我手里，说道：“给自己买顿像样的饭吃吧。”)”可知，老人很关心作者的基本需求。故选C。 【21题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“That trip taught me that kindness is universal, and even in the darkest moments, strangers can bring light. (那次旅行让我明白，善良是普世的，即便在最黑暗的时刻，陌生人也能带来光明。)”以及通读全文，文章讲述了作者在巴黎旅行时丢失手机、钱包和护照的遭遇。一位善良的老人提供了帮助，带她去警察局、买咖啡、联系旅社并给予食物。最终钱包和护照被找回，作者深刻体会到陌生人的善意，并对此充满感激。这次经历让她明白，即使在困境中，人性中的善良也是普遍存在的。因此，选项D“Kindness from a stranger in Paris(来自巴黎一个陌生人的善良)”最能概括文章的主旨。故选D。 D Thinking back on the college recommendations I’ve written, a pattern occurs: The most successful students are never merely great students. They are devoted to at least six other pursuits. How can a kid write such detailed reading journals on Dante, excel in painting and find the time to edit the school newspaper, volunteer at her city councilman’s office, run a half-marathon, take photography classes and write prize-winning poetry on the side? “Our age respects the specialist,” writes Robert Twigger, “but humans are natural polymaths (博学者) .” It’s not just the youngsters who can join the polymath party. The sumption that learning stops when you leave university is at odds with the evidence. It appears that a great deal depends on the nucleus basalis. This bit of the brain produces significant amounts of acetylcholine that regulates the rate at which new connections are made between brain cells. This in turn determines how readily we form memories of various kinds. So what’s the trick to letting the acetylcholine flow more plentifully? Twigger again: People as old as 90 who actively acquire new interests retain their ability to learn. But if we stop taxing the nucleus basalis it begins to dry up. In some older people it has been shown to contain no acetylcholine. But simply attempting new things seems to offer benefits to people. After only short periods of trying, the ability to make new connections develops. Two years ago, I had some newfound headspace to write a piece for The New York Times. I had no idea if I’d be able to keep up the writing while being a dad and a teacher and a runner, but I thought I’d give it a try. And a few months later I started blogging for The Economist as well. Adding new activities to my plate seems to have given me a new source of energy, and sometimes when I’m worn out, I’m also, strangely, uplifted. It undervalues our lives to willingly enter into mindless routines. Make stuff. Pursue a new interest. Consider career changes, even if you don’t actually make one. Stop this, start that. Do something new. Come on, it’s good for you. 22. What does the author find about the most successful students? A. They are gifted in arts. B. They are all-round athletes. C. They have wide-ranging interests. D. They make efforts to promote the public good. 23. What does the author intend to illustrate by quoting Twigger in paragraph 4? A. How to enhance the brain’s capacity for learning. B. Why humans are natural polymaths. C. What is the key to a good memory. D. What to do to age slowly. 24. How does the author describe writing in his spare time? A. It makes him struggle to balance many roles. B. It recharges his passion and enthusiasm. C. It enables him to follow his daily routines. D. It makes him question his career choices. 25. What does the author suggest readers do? A. Find their true interest and specialize in it. B. Prioritize academic achievement. C. Break their comfort zones and enjoy new challenges. D. Seek out groundbreaking and pioneering work. 【答案】22. C 23. A 24. B 25. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要探讨了多元追求与持续学习对个人成长和大脑活力的积极影响，鼓励人们打破常规，勇于尝试新事物，以丰富生活并提升自我。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Thinking back on the college recommendations I’ve written, a pattern occurs: The most successful students are never merely great students. They are devoted to at least six other pursuits.(回顾我写过的大学推荐信，我发现一个规律：最成功的学生绝不仅仅是成绩优异的学生。他们至少还专注于其他六项事业)”可知，这些成功的学生都拥有广泛的兴趣爱好，而非单一领域的专长。故选C。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“So what’s the trick to letting the acetylcholine flow more plentifully? Twigger again: People as old as 90 who actively acquire new interests retain their ability to learn. But if we stop taxing the nucleus basalis, it begins to dry up. In some older people it has been shown to contain no acetylcholine. But simply attempting new things seems to offer benefits to people. After only short periods of trying, the ability to make new connections develops.(那么，让乙酰胆碱更充沛地分泌有什么诀窍呢？还是Twigger的观点：即便是90岁高龄的人，只要积极培养新的兴趣，就能保持学习能力。但如果我们不再给基底核施加“压力”，它就会开始衰退。研究表明，有些老年人的基底核中已经检测不到乙酰胆碱了。但仅仅是尝试新事物，似乎就能给人们带来益处。只需短时间的尝试，大脑形成新连接的能力就会有所提升。)”可知，第四段首先提出问题，随后提出Twigger 的观点：即便是90岁高龄的人，只要积极培养新的兴趣，就能保持学习能力。由此可见，引用Twigger的话是为了说明通过尝试新事物、培养新兴趣，能促进乙酰胆碱分泌，增强大脑的学习能力，即如何提高大脑的学习能力。故选A。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段“And a few months later I started blogging for The Economist as well. Adding new activities to my plate seems to have given me a new source of energy, and sometimes when I’m worn out, I’m also, strangely, uplifted.(几个月后，我又开始为《经济学人》写博客。在日常事务中增加新的活动，似乎给了我新的能量来源。有时，当我疲惫不堪时，却也奇怪地感到精神振奋。)”可知，作者在业余时间写作为他带来了新的能量，甚至在疲惫时能让他感到振奋，即重新激发了他的热情与活力。故选B。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“It undervalues our lives to willingly enter into mindless routines. Make stuff. Pursue a new interest. Consider career changes, even if you don’t actually make one. Stop this, start that. Do something new. Come on, it’s good for you.(心甘情愿地陷入毫无意义的常规生活，是对我们生命的贬低。去创造东西吧。去追求新的兴趣吧。考虑一下职业变动，即便你实际上并不会真的变动。停下这件事，开始那件事。做点新的尝试。来吧，这对你有好处。)”可知，作者建议读者打破一成不变的舒适区，尝试新事物、迎接新挑战。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 We often hear that good nutrition, quality sleep, and regular exercise are the keys to improving overall health. ___26___ It turns out that putting pen to paper can have a great impact on our well-being, bringing the benefits of more traditional health practices. Research suggests that stress and the hormone cortisol (皮质醇) are closely linked. Cortisol, produced during times of anxiety, can cause significant damage to our physical health if overproduced, leading to issues like increased belly fat and dry skin or hair. ___27___ Writing instructs all your mind to form an orderly queue. ___28___ It is filled with the daily news and too many to-do lists, your anxiety and your fears. When you write, you’re rearranging the chaos of your mind into a calm bookshelf of thoughts, feelings, and “things you can control”. ___29___ It’s much like tidying a bedroom — suddenly, you can see what you need for the day, and everything else appears sorted. Imagine a room filled with chaos. It’s a heart-racing mess. Now picture that same room, magically tidied, with everything in its place. Doesn’t that feel better? By clearing the fear and stress, you’re more likely to make better decisions, eat healthier, exercise more, and enjoy more peaceful sleep. No longer are you bothered by the undone things or “what if” worries. So, start somewhere. ___30___ Sit down with a cup of tea, and begin to write freely. It’s a small step but can lead to a healthier and more organized life. A. The mind can be a messy place. B. The benefits of writing are not just physical. C. But have you considered the power of writing? D. This act of organization brings a sense of order. E. Get the notebook that catches your eyes in the bookshop. F. If you wish to further clear, discuss what you have written with others. G. One lesser-known but effective way to reduce its levels is through writing. 【答案】26. C 27. G 28. A 29. D 30. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文探讨了写作对个人健康的积极影响。 【26题详解】 根据上文“We often hear that good nutrition, quality sleep, and regular exercise are the keys to improving overall health.(我们常常听到这样的说法：良好的营养、充足的睡眠以及规律的锻炼是提升整体健康状况的关键因素)”以及后文“It turns out that putting pen to paper can have a great impact on our well-being, bringing the benefits of more traditional health practices.(事实证明，拿起笔来书写能够对我们的身心健康产生重大影响，能带来与传统健康疗法类似的益处)”可知，作者在引出写作对健康的好处。故C项“你有没有考虑过写作的力量？”作为引出下文的疑问句，符合语境。故选C。 【27题详解】 根据上文“Research suggests that stress and the hormone cortisol (皮质醇) are closely linked. Cortisol, produced during times of anxiety, can cause significant damage to our physical health if overproduced, leading to issues like increased belly fat and dry skin or hair.(研究表明，压力与皮质醇这种激素之间存在着密切的联系。在焦虑状态下产生的皮质醇如果分泌过多，会对我们的身体健康造成严重损害，可能导致诸如腹部脂肪增加、皮肤和头发干燥等问题)”可知，此处讨论的是压力和皮质醇的关系及其对身体的潜在伤害。故G项“一个较少为人知但有效的降低皮质醇水平的方法是通过写作”符合语境。故选G。 【28题详解】 根据第三段尾句“When you write, you’re rearranging the chaos of your mind into a calm bookshelf of thoughts, feelings, and “things you can control”.(当你写作的时候，你是在把你混乱的头脑重新整理成一个平静的书架，里面有你的想法、感觉和“你能控制的事情”。)”可知，写作有助于整理思绪，将混乱的大脑整理成有序的“书架”。因此，A项“思绪可以是混乱的”符合语境，描述了写作前大脑的状态。故选A。 【29题详解】 根据下文“It’s much like tidying a bedroom — suddenly, you can see what you need for the day, and everything else appears sorted. Imagine a room filled with chaos. It’s a heart-racing mess. Now picture that same room, magically tidied, with everything in its place. Doesn’t that feel better?(这就好比整理一间卧室——突然间，你就能清楚地看到当天所需的东西，而其他所有东西也都井井有条了。想象一下一间杂乱无章的房间。那是一种令人心跳加速的混乱景象。现在想象一下同样的房间，神奇地变得整洁有序，所有东西都各归其位。这种感觉难道不更好吗？)”可知，作者在比喻整理思绪如同整理房间，使得一切变得有序。故D项“这种整理行为带来了秩序感”符合语境，描述了整理思绪后的感受。故选D。 【30题详解】 根据上文“So, start somewhere.(所以，从某个地方开始吧)”以及后文“Sit down with a cup of tea, and begin to write freely.(坐下来，喝杯茶，然后尽情地开始写作吧)”可知，作者在鼓励读者开始写作，以实现更健康、更有条理的生活。故E项“去书店买一本吸引你的笔记本”作为开始写作的具体建议，符合语境。故选E。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I used to believe that art was about creating a perfect picture. When I first entered Mr. Dawson’s art class, my only ____31____ was to produce a realistic drawing. I would spend hours carefully ____32____ every line, frustrated when my shading wasn’t ____33____ or my perspective was slightly off. Although my sketches were ____34____ accurate, they ____35____ soul. Mr. Dawson would often remind me, “Don’t draw what you see; draw what you ____36____.” His words made little ____37____ to me then. One afternoon, feeling particularly disappointed with a failed portrait, I almost ____38____ my paper. Seeing my ____39____, Mr. Dawson sat beside me. He took a charcoal piece (炭笔) and, with a few swift, almost careless strokes, sketched the same subject. It wasn’t perfect, but it was ____40____. The lines were alive, capturing not just the ____41____, but the feeling behind it. That day, something ____42____ inside me. I realized that I had been so focused on technique that I had lost sight of my original purpose for drawing — to express myself. I began to ____43____, to let my hand move more freely. My drawings became messier, but for the first time, they became mine. They began to carry meaning and tell ____44____. Now I understand that learning to draw, much like living itself, is not about achieving ____45____.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者最初学习绘画时执着于追求技法完美，画作缺乏灵魂，在道森老师的启发下，逐渐领悟到艺术的本质在于表达自我、接纳不完美，最终明白绘画与人生一样，核心在于过程而非极致完美的故事。 【31题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：当我第一次走进道森老师的美术课时，我唯一的目标就是画出一幅写实的画。A. prediction预测；B. goal目标；C. insight洞察力；D. hobby爱好。根据前文“I used to believe that art was about creating a perfect picture”可知，作者最初对艺术的认知决定了他上课的目标是画出写实作品。故选B。 【32题详解】 考查动词短语词义辨析。句意：我会花几个小时仔细勾勒每一条线条，当我的阴影不够流畅或透视略有偏差时，我会感到沮丧。A. taking up占据（时间/空间）；B. referring to参考；C. depending on依赖；D. working on致力于，钻研。根据前文“spend hours carefully”以及后文“every line”可知，作者为了追求完美，会花费大量时间专注于线条的勾勒，“working on(致力于)”能体现这种专注投入的状态。故选D。 【33题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意同上。A. complicated复杂的；B. smooth流畅的；C. cooling凉爽的；D. usual通常的。根据前文“frustrated(沮丧的)”以及“my perspective was slightly off(透视略有偏差)”可知，此处是描述绘画技法上的不足，阴影效果画得“不够流畅”符合绘画场景中追求完美的语境，其他选项与“shading(描影法)”搭配不当。故选B。 【34题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意：虽然我的素描在技法上很准确，但它们缺乏灵魂。A. technically技法上；B. physically身体上；C. economically经济上；D. emotionally情感上。根据前文作者专注于线条、阴影、透视等绘画技巧的描述，以及后文“but they ____5____ soul”的转折可知，此处是肯定作者在技法层面的准确性。故选A。 【35题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意同上。A. touched触摸；B. had拥有；C. lacked缺乏；D. hurt伤害。根据前文“Although(虽然)”引导的转折关系，以及后文道森老师的提醒“Don’t draw what you see; draw what you____6____. ”可知，作者的画作虽技法达标，但缺少情感表达，即“缺乏灵魂”。故选C。 【36题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：道森老师经常提醒我：“不要画你看到的，要画你感受到的。”A. taste品尝；B. touch触摸；C. hear听到；D. feel感受。根据后文“The lines were alive, capturing not just the ____11____, but the feeling behind it.”可知，老师的核心观点是绘画需要传递情感，而非单纯复刻视觉所见，“feel(感受)”与后文“feeling(情感)”相呼应。故选D。 【37题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：那时他的话对我来说没什么意义。A. wealth财富；B. progress进步；C. effort努力；D. sense意义。根据前文“I used to believe that art was about creating a perfect picture”作者执着于技法完美的状态，以及后文“I realized that I had been so focused on technique that I had lost sight of my original purpose for drawing — to express myself.”作者在老师示范后才领悟道理可知，起初作者并未理解老师的话，“make little sense(没意义)”是固定搭配，符合语境。故选D。 【38题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：一天下午，我对一幅失败的肖像画感到特别失望，几乎要把纸撕掉。A. folded折叠；B. tore撕掉；C. hid隐藏；D. delivered交付。根据前文“feeling particularly disappointed with a failed portrait”可知，强烈的负面情绪会促使作者做出冲动行为，“tore(撕掉)”能体现这种失望之下的举动。故选B。 【39题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：看到我的挣扎，道森老师坐在了我旁边。A. trick诡计；B. spirit精神；C. struggle挣扎；D. power力量。根据前文“feeling particularly disappointed with a failed portrait, I almost ____8____ my paper.”作者因画作失败而沮丧、恼怒，可知，老师观察到了作者在绘画过程中的困境与内心挣扎。故选C。 【40题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：它并不完美，但很有表现力。A. expressive有表现力的；B. simple简单的；C. strange奇怪的；D. finished完成了的。根据后文“The lines were alive, capturing not just the ____11____, but the feeling behind it.”可知，老师的画作虽不完美，但传递了情感，即“有表现力的”。故选A。 【41题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：线条是鲜活的，不仅捕捉了外形，还捕捉了背后的情感。A. mood情绪；B. shape外形；C. heart心脏；D. interest兴趣。根据前文“sketched the same subject(画了同一个对象)”以及绘画的基本逻辑可知，画作首先捕捉的是物体的“外形”，再传递深层情感，“shape(外形)”与“feeling(情感)”形成由表及里的对应。故选B。 【42题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：那天，我豁然开朗。A. clicked豁然开朗，恍然大悟；B. broke打破；C. wandered徘徊；D. disappeared消失。根据后文“I realized that I had been so focused on technique that I had lost sight of my original purpose for drawing — to express myself.”可知，作者在老师的启发下突然领悟了绘画的本质，“clicked(豁然开朗)”能体现这种瞬间的顿悟。故选A。 【43题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我开始尝试，让我的手更自由地移动。A. record记录；B. hesitate犹豫；C. experiment尝试；D. select选择。根据后文“to let my hand move more freely”以及“My drawings became messier, but for the first time, they became mine.(我的画变得更凌乱了，但这是第一次，它们真正属于我)”可知，作者不再执着于固定技法，开始尝试新的绘画方式。故选C。 【44题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：它们开始承载意义，讲述故事。A. stories故事；B. lies谎言；C. jokes笑话；D. truth真相。根据前文“My drawings became messier, but for the first time, they became mine.”以及“They began to carry meaning”可知，作者的画作融入了自我表达，能够传递特定的内容，“tell stories(讲述故事)”是常用搭配，体现画作的叙事性。故选A。 【45题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：现在我明白了，学习绘画，就像生活本身一样，不在于追求完美。A. freedom自由；B. fame名声；C. balance平衡；D. perfection完美。根据前文作者最初执着于“creating a perfect picture”，以及后文“It is about the courage to accept imperfections(关键在于有勇气接受不完美)”可知，此处是对前文观点的否定与升华，强调绘画和生活的核心不在于“追求完美”。故选D。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 In and around China’s southwestern Sichuan province, one can often find folk artists ____46____(produce) sugar paintings with liquid sugar along the streets and in the parks.

Some travelers recommend booking well in advance, while others swear by last-minute deals. Additionally, opinions differ on which day of the week is best for booking flights and which days are cheapest to travel. Fortunately, Expedia’s 2025 Air Hacks Report provides clear answers to these questions. ●What is the cheapest day to book airline tickets? When you’re ready to purchase airfare for your next trip, set aside time on a Sunday to book. According to Expedia’s 2025 Air Hacks Report, booking on Sundays can save you up to 6% on domestic flights and up to 17% on international flights compared to bookings made on a Monday or Friday. This trend has held true for three years in a row. ●What are the cheapest days to fly? The day your flight departs is another important factor in determining the cost of your airfare. For the cheapest flights, aim to fly on a Thursday or Saturday. If you’re flying domestically, departing on a Saturday instead of a Sunday can save you up to 17%. For international travel, leaving on a Thursday rather than a Sunday can result in savings of up to 15%. ●How far in advance should you book airline tickets to save money? Many people assume that the earlier you book your flight, the cheaper your ticket will be. But that’s not the case. In fact, booking an international flight just 18 to 29 days before departure will save you up to 17% compared to booking three months in advance. The sweet spot for domestic flights is one to three months before your trip. Booking then can save you 25% compared with tickets booked at the last minute. 11. How can you save money concerning domestic flights? A. Purchasing tickets on Mondays or Fridays. B. Choosing flights leaving on Sundays. C. Flying on Saturdays instead of Sundays. D. Booking 18 to 29 days in advance. 12. What is a common misconception about booking flights? A. Last-minute deals are best choices. B. Booking early guarantees low prices. C. Weekends are always more expensive. D. Airfare varies greatly from year to year. 13. What’s the text? A. A social media post. B. A travel journal. C. A customer review. D. A market research report. B To Karanth, everyone in every part of the world is born with a fundamental connection to nature. Growing up in Karnataka, she began accompanying her father into the wild at just two years old. But in her hometown, kids grew up with a negative perspective (看法) on wildlife. Elephants destroyed crops and sometimes people were badly injured or killed. Karanth discovered kids wouldn’t appreciate the fact that it’s the best place to witness extraordinary animals. In 2017, a conversation with her friend Gabby shifted her mindset towards education. Within half a year, Karanth and Gabby had the first version of “Wild Shaale” on their hands. A program designed for students who come into frequent contact with wildlife, Wild Shaale aims to develop a genuine understanding of wildlife and wild spaces and move beyond wildlife tolerance to concepts of conservation (保护) and environmental issues. The conservation education program fills a gap in environmental learning. While it is fortunate that a basic environmental education is supported by local government, Karanth believes the challenge lies in the quality of the curriculum and whether it’s delivered effectively and consistently. “You have to visualize (想象) what these schools look like. They may not have electricity—forget having computers, internet, iPads, or anything. ” Encouraging the students to find commonalities between themselves and the animals is the first step to changing perceptions (看法) and hopefully, behaviors. “It comes down to the same things: we need food; we need water; we need space. Then they start to understand why situations of conflict arise,” Karanth says. “But then how do you convince them not to get angry, not to act in a way that leads to harm? That’s something we’re trying to work on. It’s not easy.” 14. What problem might Karanth’s hometown have faced? A. Human-wildlife conflict. B. Loss of wildlife habitats. C. Overpopulation of elephants. D. Disregard for wildlife balance. 15. Why did Karanth launch the program Wild Shaale? A To help students identify animals. B. To fill a gap in local education. C To change how students perceive wildlife. D. To publicize wildlife diversity. 16. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The support for the plan. B. The barrier to the program. C. The curriculum arrangement. D. The schools’ conditions. 17. What is Karanth trying to achieve in the program? A. A change in humans’ attitudes and behavior. B. A breakthrough in environmental studies. C. Appropriate ways to end local conflicts. D. Approaches to changing animals’ behavior. C It was my first trip to Paris, a city I’d dreamed of visiting since childhood. I wandered along the Seine River, snapped photos of the Eiffel Tower, and soaked in the charming atmosphere. However, disaster struck on the third day: when I reached for my bag at a crowded metro station, I found it empty — my phone, wallet, and passport were all gone. Panic surged through me as I realized I had no way to contact anyone or pay for food and accommodation. Desperate and lost, I wandered aimlessly down a quiet street, trying to hold back tears. A kind-looking elderly man noticed my distress (困境) and approached me. “Are you in trouble, young lady?” he asked in broken English. I explained my situation, and his eyes filled with sympathy. Without hesitation, he offered to take me to the local police station to report the theft. On the way, he bought me a cup of hot coffee and reassured me, “Everything will be okay. Parisians are not as cold as people say.” At the police station, the officer was patient and helpful, taking down my details and promising to contact me if there was any news. As I left, feeling still anxious, the elderly man insisted on driving me to a nearby youth hostel where he helped me negotiate a discounted rate. He even pressed some euros into my hand, saying, “Buy yourself a proper meal.” I tried to refuse, but he smiled and said, “Pass the kindness on someday.” A week later, I received a call from the police, my wallet and passport had been found by a tourist who handed them in. Though my phone was never recovered, I had already experienced something far more valuable. That trip taught me that kindness is universal, and even in the darkest moments, strangers can bring light. I left Paris not just with memories of beautiful landmarks, but with a warm heart full of gratitude. 18. What was stolen from the author at the metro station? A. Her flight ticket and credit cards. B. Her phone, wallet and passport. C. Her camera and travel guide. D. Her cash and hotel reservation. 19. What does the underlined word “reassured” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Comforted B. Warned C. Criticized D. Challenged 20. We can infer from the passage that the elderly man ________. A. was a staff member of the youth hostel B. could speak fluent English with the author C. cared about the author’s basic needs. D. had known the author before the trip 21. What is the best title for the passage? A. A Terrible Theft in Paris B. The Beautiful Landmarks of Paris C. A Trip Full of Surprises and Regrets D. Kindness from a stranger in Paris D Thinking back on the college recommendations I’ve written, a pattern occurs: The most successful students are never merely great students. They are devoted to at least six other pursuits. How can a kid write such detailed reading journals on Dante, excel in painting and find the time to edit the school newspaper, volunteer at her city councilman’s office, run a half-marathon, take photography classes and write prize-winning poetry on the side? “Our age respects the specialist,” writes Robert Twigger, “but humans are natural polymaths (博学者) .” It’s not just the youngsters who can join the polymath party. The sumption that learning stops when you leave university is at odds with the evidence. It appears that a great deal depends on the nucleus basalis. This bit of the brain produces significant amounts of acetylcholine that regulates the rate at which new connections are made between brain cells. This in turn determines how readily we form memories of various kinds. So what’s the trick to letting the acetylcholine flow more plentifully? Twigger again: People as old as 90 who actively acquire new interests retain their ability to learn. But if we stop taxing the nucleus basalis it begins to dry up. In some older people it has been shown to contain no acetylcholine. But simply attempting new things seems to offer benefits to people. After only short periods of trying, the ability to make new connections develops. Two years ago, I had some newfound headspace to write a piece for The New York Times. I had no idea if I’d be able to keep up the writing while being a dad and a teacher and a runner, but I thought I’d give it a try. And a few months later I started blogging for The Economist as well. Adding new activities to my plate seems to have given me a new source of energy, and sometimes when I’m worn out, I’m also, strangely, uplifted. It undervalues our lives to willingly enter into mindless routines. Make stuff. Pursue a new interest. Consider career changes, even if you don’t actually make one. Stop this, start that. Do something new. Come on, it’s good for you. 22. What does the author find about the most successful students? A. They are gifted in arts. B. They are all-round athletes. C. They have wide-ranging interests. D. They make efforts to promote the public good. 23. What does the author intend to illustrate by quoting Twigger in paragraph 4? A. How to enhance the brain’s capacity for learning. B. Why humans are natural polymaths. C. What is the key to a good memory. D. What to do to age slowly. 24. How does the author describe writing in his spare time? A. It makes him struggle to balance many roles. B. It recharges his passion and enthusiasm. C. It enables him to follow his daily routines. D. It makes him question his career choices. 25. What does the author suggest readers do? A. Find their true interest and specialize in it. B. Prioritize academic achievement. C. Break their comfort zones and enjoy new challenges. D.
